The idea for Lanona came to founder Ben Ransom in 2011, when he wanted to learn how to build himself a pair of custom leather shoes. After two years of apprenticing with a master shoemaker, Ransom, operating out of St. Paul, Minnesota, began producing footwear that is entirely American made (in Maine, Minnesota, and Florida) and American sourced (using such quality materials as Horween leather and Lanona's own patent-pending outsoles). The resulting creations are stylish and built to last.
